Sexism In Japan Added To UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage List

Sexism in Japan was approved on Saturday for addition to
UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage list, a committee of the UN announced.

UNSESCO says it has been monitoring the level of political
empowerment and economic participation for women in Japan over the past decade.

“Around three-quarters of Japanese companies have no female
senior executives with women accounting for less than 10% of management,” says
UNESCO spokesman Giuseppe Bormioli.

“Female lawmakers occupy less than 10% of Lower House seats
in the government.”

Sexism over the past year featuring the rigging of university exam scores for female applicants and pop idol managers forcing their female talent to apologize for the crimes of male fans secured the UNESCO listing.
